A GROUNDBREAKING FUSION OF MEDITATIVE AND SHAMANIC TRADITIONS THAT ACCELERATES SOUL EVOLUTION. "John Davidson takes us into a powerful and deep exploration of the soul's path. The Soul's Critical Path offers a new and fresh perspective to help us on our spiritual journey. I found the book to be very insightful as well as brilliantly written."   Sandra Ingerman, MA, author of Soul Retrieval and Medicine for the Earth Today, there is an unprecedented but confusing smorgasbord of spiritual traditions from which an awakening soul must pick and choose. Yet, even sophisticated spiritual techniques teach only two things: how to control attention and where to put it. Asia has taught us how to control attention. Shamanism urges us to bring that focused attention to the heart, body, earth, and other-dimensional intelligences. This is the terrain of the soul’s journey. In The Soul’s Critical Path, John Davidson describes an emerging fusion of meditation and shamanism that offers a grounded and visible soul pathway. Davidson, a retired attorney, openly shares his personal stories of challenges and insights from a mosaic of peak experiences with meditation, vision questing, personal relationships, Peruvian shamanism, and entheogenic plants. Connecting the dots of this diverse array, he describes five distinct stages through which all souls are challenged to evolve. Davidson explains how the discovery of an experiential soul perspective – the knowing that I am the soul – allows the awakening soul to remember who it is, ground itself in the portal of the heart, and bring a sense of love and safety to the body. With that experience, the body can release the fear that prevents it from receiving the soul as its mate. With body as its mate, the soul can transcend fate and discover the unique destiny that flows from the soul’s purpose, the body’s power, and the heart’s passion.

THE BODY-YOUR FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT SOUL MATE In The Left Hand of God, John Davidson offers a ride-along on an intimate, sometimes sensuous, and occasionally humorous search for his soul mate. The twist is his discovery that, among the many soul mates we might have, the most important one is our own body. Davidson's poetry reflects the ambiguous and gradual process of shifting personal identity from personality to soul that is in play beneath the level of conscious consent. In his earlier book, The Soul's Critical Path, he described the eventual result of that shift as the acquisition of a soul perspective. A soul perspective is not simply a concept, but a lived, experiential identification with soul. A consciousness filled with the knowing "I am the soul" holds the body, mind, emotions, and personality at enough distance to permit the emerged soul to see itself as a distinct entity. With that distance, the soul can also recognize the body as its first and most significant soul mate. Only a self-aware soul can constellate the Love that emanates from both Heaven and Earth into a sense of love and safety for its body. If the soul can woo its mate thus, the body cannot help but fall in love with the soul. With the body as the soul's partner, the soul will have gained the strong legs-the life force-it needs to do its work of co-creation on the planet. Come along. You might enjoy the ride.

HOW DOES A SOUL FIND ITS PURPOSE IN THE WORLD? Here's how a working soul coach does it. Breaking with Belief clearly describes how you become the soul, get focused, transcend your fate, partner with your beautiful body, and find a destiny of purpose that unveils itself daily. On the way, spiritual author John Davidson offers a new answer to the question how "spiritual" can actually mean something significantly different than "religious." Continuing his soul perspective series, Davidson's new book describes in detail his hands-on teaching process and how it helps people learn to recover the body from its trauma. Soul and body are inherently connected, Davidson writes, but their soulmated relationship must be cultivated skillfully in order to heal the wild body and coax it into service of the soul's planetary agenda. All souls come to the planet encoded with a gift that can only be unpacked with the discovery of purpose, says Davidson. While gifts are inherent, purpose arises from a daily process by which a soul seated in the coherent heart uses the sensuality of the body to seek out opportunities in a rapidly changing world. Belief has no place in that process. Breaking with Belief steps outside the box within which the current debate regarding religious belief rages. In one way or another, the religious, atheists, agnostics, scientists, academics, and meditators all believe in belief. Their debate centers almost entirely upon the content of belief while treating the process of belief as a necessary given. For a progressive believer, the ultimate trap is not the content of belief-many people now feel free to pick and choose-but the process of belief itself, which they have been conditioned to assume as necessary. Instead, Davidson argues, the direct experience of the soul seated in a coherent heart, in combination with the rational and visionary capacities of the brain, provide what we need to navigate the planet with purpose and connect directly with the mystery we call by the proverbial 10,000 names.
